Yes you can use regular plain yogurt but you will need about 50% more as you will need to strain it to remove the excess liquid as greek yogurt is much thicker, strain it with a coffee filter or tea cloth in a colander, it will need to strain for approx 2 hours.

yes you can use regular yogurt. If the yogurt is not sour, then add 3 tbs of lemon juice to it :)

i found out, i think only the iraqis call it jajek because in the lebanese restaurent they called it what you call it its so yummy though :) oh and i tried making this at home, and i very stupidly put it in the bullet blender and it became a yummy yogurt drink, but i was so looking foward to eating it with bread
By: SoSoniLove

hmmm i think that's the drink, not the one you can eat with food :)
By: dedemed

all you have to do is find a girl and introduce her to my site and she can cook just as good :)
By: dedemed

A beautiful woman that can cook. Why, oh why, do you have to have a ring on that finger?
By: glassjaw890

I thought the arabs called it jajek? In the restaurents its called jajek lol And omg i LOVE this with bread Yummmmmm :)
By: SoSoniLove

that's true but that may add to many unnecessary calories :)
By: dedemed

thank you my friend, you are correct, thank you for the correction :)
By: dedemed

This was a nice video! Me,instead of water I use olive oil to un-thick it. It's good way I think. :)

TIP FROM A GREEK: GYROS is pronounced YEE-ROO-Z not GEE-ROO-Z
